The Sumner Hotel

Hotel staff was very helpful and the breakfast was delicious. If we visit London again we'll book our stay at the Sumner for sure.

Lovely B&B style hotel. Very quaint with helpful and attentive staff. My room was quiet, clean and very comforable. Lots of hot water and very comfortable mattress which is always a welcome after a long day of sight-seeing. A short walk from the Marble Arch Metro makes this hotel very convenient. I'll stay there again on my next trip to London.

We spent 3 excellent nights at the Sumner. The location is perfect - walking distance (10 or 15 mins - it's basically 1 km or 0.7 miles) to Paddington Station to catch the train to Heathrow, A few steps from the Marble Arch tube stop and Oxford Street for loads of shopping and restaurants. A tube day pass will get you to all major attractions in 15 mins or so from the Marble Arch stop, and some of them are even walking distance if you prefer walking as we do (British Museum is about 25 min walk for us, Buckingham Palace & Piccadily Circus the same). We had a King room that faced the street, but the road is quiet and the soundproof glass works wonders. Breakfast was included which we hadn't expected (breads, some scrambled eggs & beans, cereal) and was more than adequate. Room and hotel both had some character to them (nice high ceilings, crown mouldings, sitting room, etc). Great hotel, perfect location for us, and excellent value for London.
